re: Do we see Thompson hit The Portal?

JT was not the worst hitter in our lineup. I guess depends on what you prefer but I would rather have had him up in a big spot than Jobert, and it's not even close. Honestly, being the worst hitter (.286 avg) on a team that hit close to .300 as a club isn't really an insult.

we've got to stop penciling in all these freshman right away. Let's look at all the teams that have made deep runs, they're all veteran teams. If a freshman turns out to have a Morgan/crews freshman season then so be it let them have it but JT was not near as bad as a whole (I understand the errors) as people make him out to be and I'll take a third year starter over a true freshman 9/10 times.
